What technique is a writer employing when they foreshadow the upcoming plot?

  1. Suspense

  2. Climax

  3. Anticipation

  4. Resolution

The correct answer is: Suspense

When a writer foreshadows a plot, they are dropping hints or clues about a future event in the story. This creates a sense of suspense and anticipation for the reader as they try to piece together what will happen next. The climax and resolution are both parts of the plot, but they do not specifically relate to the technique of foreshadowing. Anticipation could be seen as a synonym for suspense, but it does not capture the specific literary device being used. Therefore, the most accurate and fitting choice is A Suspense.
